Shawnee is a respected mentor, visionary and leader who is responsible for TechWise worldwide. Shawnee co-founded TechWise in 1994 and has grown it to 8 locations in North America and two locations in the Middle East.

“Shawnee Huckstep is a perfect example of the ingenuity and innovation that small firms possess here in Colorado and the nation” said Elton Ringsak, SBA’s Region VIII Administrator.

Shawnee’s leadership through the ups and downs of the economy has been paramount in the continued success of TechWise over the past 23 years. Shawnee found ways to leverage the firm’s excellent past performance in technology, training, and consulting into new growth areas. She has been able to provide innovation to many military training events by incorporating efficient ways to use technology throughout training exercises as well as helping customers evaluate their return on investment for the training. 

She has positioned her company as the best professional service company to have on the team to increase the performance level of not only the individuals but of the collective group. She leads teams that integrate training, technology, and process… to ultimately create capability within organizations. 

 

While growing up on a farm in Iowa, raising cattle, Tom Neppl assumed he would stay involved in the family business as an adult. But after studying industrial electronics in college, he moved to Colorado Springs in 1985. Neppl, who likes to build and create things, was “driven” to work for himself, so he co-founded Springs Fabrication Inc. in 1986, taking over full ownership about a year later.

Springs Fab has grown to become the region’s largest manufacturing company. With recent acquisitions, the company includes manufacturing facilities in Colorado Springs, Loveland, and Broomfield, specializing in energy, new technology and heavy industrial equipment manufacturing.

In 2014, Neppl was elected chairman of the Colorado Springs Regional Business Alliance board of directors. Neppl previously served on the boards of the Business Alliance, The Greater Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce, Pikes Peak Workforce Center, and Pikes Peak Community College Advisory Board. He is currently serving on the board of the local Legatus Chapter and was Vice Chair of the Business Alliance Board in 2013.
